These exotic beauties mature slowly and last for about two months.  The purple flower is lightly scented and the blooms come out one at a time.

Hibiscus come in many colors.  This rare variety blooms upside down and has an extra-long stamen.  The petals are amazingly split rather than solid.

White plumeria is common, but oh, so fragrant!

 

 

 

 

Pikake, or Jasmine is  just delightful…one of the most fragrant flowers found in Hawaii.  The blooms are often strung into lei’s.

Coral-colored anthirium also known as “boy flower”.  These are another long-lasting bloom that come in a wide variety of colors and shapes.
